At this moment, Dedale felt that the whole world had turned scarlet, and the bright crescent moon hanging high in the night sky had also turned into a red full moon.
"Illusion?"
Dedale was taken aback. He immediately wanted to make a hand seal, but he was shocked to find that his body seemed to be nailed by several huge iron nails, and he couldn't move at all.
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, Hyōjin, who was wearing a flame-patterned mask, walked out of the woods.
After receiving a message from the Ninja Crow and learning that Dedale might go to the Fire Temple, he immediately sneaked out of the village and flew all the way. Disregarding the cost of Chakra's consumption, he spent a whole day rushing to the Fire Temple and happened to see the scene of the fight between Terra and Dedale.
Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, Terra, one of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors', whose head was worth 30 million gold, would have died in the dazzling fireworks.
At this time, Terra, who was bound by Dedale's Exploding Centipede, struggled to break free. He looked at Hyōjin with surprise and asked vigilantly, "You … You are Amatsukami's' Fire Demon '?"
Hyōjin glanced at Terra and deliberately said, "You're welcome!"
"Uh …" After being reminded by Hyōjin, Terra looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving me just now, Your Excellency."
Out of curiosity about the 30 million gold bounty, Hyōjin seriously sized up Terra.
In fact, Terra's strength wasn't weak. He had at least the foundation of a Jonin, and coupled with the power of an 'Immortal Genius', his overall strength even surpassed some elite Jonins.
In the original space-time, when facing the 'Undying Duo' of the Akatsuki Organization, he had the upper hand at the beginning of the fight.
However, a monk was still a monk and not a pure ninja. He was more rigid and less adaptable. Moreover, the ability of the 'Undying Duo' of the Akatsuki Organization was indeed too strange. In the end, it wasn't surprising that he died in the hands of the 'Undying Duo'.
Withdrawing his gaze, Hyōjin said faintly, "You can leave now. I will deal with this guy."
Seeing Hyōjin adopt an unapproachable attitude, Terra pondered for a moment and finally chose to compromise. He left Dedale, who had blown up the temple hall, to Hyōjin before turning around and leaving the forest to return to the Fire Temple.
"Hey, what did you do to me?"
At this time, Dedale's voice reached Hyōjin's ears.
Kuroto suddenly looked at Dedale, his face full of surprise under the flame mask. He didn't expect Dedale to show signs of getting rid of his Genjutsu so quickly.
Hyōjin's eyes turned cold.
Originally, the best candidate to deal with Dedale was Itachi or Zhishui, who was proficient in Genjutsu. In the original space-time, Itachi easily subdued Dedale with a glance and left an indelible mental scar on the genius of the Rock Village.
But considering that the main purpose of this trip was to collect Dedale's cell tissue, and this matter was related to Hyōjin's own top secret, he didn't want to let others handle it if it wasn't necessary. Therefore, he dispelled the idea of letting Itachi or Zhishui take action and took action himself.
As for using the Fire Release Clone, it was also because he considered that it would be very troublesome to deal with Dedale in a conventional battle. Therefore, he wanted to copy Itachi's method of fighting Dedale. Using the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on the Fire Release Clone, he can use Genjutsu to take care of the battle, which is both decent and allows him to extract Dedale's cell tissue.
He can even use this to coerce Dedale to join Amatsukami, or develop Dedale into the second undercover agent of the Akatsuki Organization.
After all, he still appreciated Dedale. Apart from Dedale's strange hobby of being obsessed with explosions, Dedale's ability wasn't something many Ninjas possessed.
However, plans can never keep up with changes. The Genjutsu that Hyōjin used without hesitation just now unexpectedly showed signs of being broken by Dedale in just a few minutes.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, hurry up and answer me, hmm!"
Dedale, who was trying to break free from the Genjutsu, was still shouting.
"Tch …"
Seeing that Dedale's head could slightly move, Hyōjin lightly spat.
The Genjutsu he used on Dedale was a kind of Sharingan Genjutsu called 'Shackling Hang Technique'. It was the same Genjutsu that Itachi used to subdue Orochi Maru in the original space-time.
The consciousness of the enemy who was hit by the 'Shackling Hang Technique' will fall into the Genjutsu space, as if a huge iron nail is nailed to the body, completely losing control of the body.
According to common sense, this Genjutsu that is cast with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as a medium should be more than enough to deal with Dedale in terms of pure pupil power. However, the power of Genjutsu does not only depend on the strength of the pupil power.
"It seems that I really don't have a talent for Genjutsu!"
After cursing in his heart, Hyōjin took out a Kunai from his ninja bag.
After studying all types of Ninjutsu, Hyōjin found that his talent for Genjutsu and space-time Ninjutsu is the worst, and it belongs to the kind of terrible kind. This is also the reason why Hyōjin rarely uses Genjutsu even if he has the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Of course, ninjas who really have a talent for Genjutsu are actually only a small group in the ninja community.
For example, when he had the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kakashi, like Hyōjin, rarely used Genjutsu. When encountering a strong enemy of the same level, he never used Genjutsu to deal with the enemy. His use of the Mangekyou Sharingan of Obsidian was more for Insight Replication and Genjutsu defense.
Even in the Uchiha Clan, not everyone is good at Genjutsu. For example, Sasuke, who is extremely talented, is not very good at Genjutsu. He belongs to the category of Uchiha who doesn't use Genjutsu as much as possible. He is the opposite of his brother Itachi, who uses Genjutsu to solve problems. He is the type of person who never uses Genjutsu.
Weighing the Kunai in his hand, Hyōjin suddenly threw it towards Dedale.
Shua …
The Kunai with a cold glint instantly cut Dedale's shoulder and nailed him to the tree trunk behind him with a piece of flesh and blood.
Dedale was suddenly shocked and angry. "Damn, you despicable guy!"
Glancing at the Kunai nailed to the tree trunk, Kuroto's face showed a smile under the mask. The Kunai had cut off half of Dedale's shoulder.
That small piece of flesh and blood is enough for him to extract Dedale's cell tissue.
His main purpose has been achieved. Hyōjin, who was relieved, said coldly, "I will now give you a choice. Join our Amatsukami or die!"
